How do we create our Era blend?
When we create Era espresso blends, we always look for single origin coffees with distinguishable character, which would together make a true taste experience.
Our current Era consists of two coffees:
Guatemala La Folie - washed - bourbon - 70 %
Panama Bonita Springs - natural - catuaí - 30 %
Espresso Coffee Family
Guatemala La Folie
La Folie is one of the oldest farms in the city of Antigua. The first coffee trees were planted here more than 50 years ago. Since 2003, the farm has been managed by Luis Pedro Zelaya, who oversees several dozen farms in the area. Luis is a well-known and respected figure in Guatemala. His Bella Vista mill processes and sorts coffees from neighboring farms as well.
Panama Bonita Springs
Bonita Springs is a new project by the Hartmann family in the Boquete region, located on the opposite side of the Barú volcano from the rest of their farms. This coffee has a full body, with dominant flavors of milk chocolate and a light floral undertone.
Finca Hartmann has become world-renowned primarily for its approach to the ecosystem, which is truly unique on the farm’s territory. All coffee is grown under the shade of trees that provide shelter for more than 300 species of birds. It is no surprise, then, that the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute conducted research here for several years, and many scientific papers have been written about the farm.
How does it taste?
The washed coffee brings elegant acidity and fruity tones to the cup. The dry-processed coffee creates a rich body and a chocolate aftertaste. Together, they make a balanced and sweet espresso that is great on its own or with milk.
